ZAGREB, March 27 (Hina) - The footage shot in Vukovar on November
18-19, 1991 by British ITN TV reporter Michael Nicholson was shown
in Zagreb on Tuesday evening.
On November 18, 1991 Nicholson filmed the surrender of
Croatian troops and the exit of a long line of civilians from
Vukovar. On November 19 in the morning Nicholson filmed the Vukovar
hospital, just before the troops of the former Yugoslav National
Army (JNA) entered it.
The viewing was organized by Apel, a centre for the protection
of human rights of exiled and missing Croatian citizens and their
families. It was attended by members of these families, and by
ambassadors and embassy representatives of nine countries.
The Apel activists invited the attending diplomats and the
whole international public to help find out about the fate of the
missing and exiled Croatian citizens during the Serbian aggression
on Croatia.
The footage clearly shows that the persons reported missing
were alive on November 19, 1991 and that they were abducted by JNA.
According to Apel president Zdenka Farkas, JNA and Serbian
president Slobodan Milosevic know what happened to them.
Ivan Grujic, president of the Croatian Government Commission
on Missing And Exiled Persons, showed Serbian TV footage featuring
a Belgrade Military Academy pathologist who stated that he and his
colleagues performed autopsies on 1500 dead from Vukovar.
"Documentation on these autopsies exists in the Belgrade
Military Academy", Grujic said, calling on the international
community to help Croatia obtain these documents.
During the viewing, family members recognized Mato Perak,
Kresimir Ratkovic, Damjan Samardzic, Zlatan Voloder, Tomislav Tot
and Marko Begcevic, who are still unaccounted for.
The showing was attended by representatives of USA, Belgium,
Great Britain, France, Sweden, Greece, Slovenia, Bulgaria and
Russia, as well as representatives of the European Monitor Mission
and the Croatian Red Cross.
